• Important: N8055 uses a Stem (top) / Eyelet-Sleeve (bottom) mount configuration. This is not interchangeable with standard Eyelet/Eyelet shocks. Confirm your vehicle's factory upper mount type before ordering.
• Note: On the Isuzu Trooper (1987-1991), N8055 serves as both the front and rear shock. Front position is 0-1 in. lift; rear is stock height. For all other platforms listed, N8055 is a front-only shock at stock ride height.
• Note: For the Jeep Wrangler YJ at 2-2.5 in. front lift, use N8056 instead. For 3-4.5 in. lift, a longer shock is required.

Features

• 150 PSI nitrogen gas-charged pressure prevents fluid aeration and damping fade, maintaining consistent performance across the full range of street and trail conditions this shock's platforms are known for
• True velocity-sensitive valving automatically adjusts damping resistance in real time based on suspension input speed - delivering composed front-end behavior at any pace whether on the highway or on the rocks
• Twin-tube construction with multi-stage valving provides a stable secondary fluid chamber for consistent compression and rebound throughout the full 9.21 in. stroke
• Oversized bonded iron piston head ensures precise fluid displacement and smooth damping force across the extended travel range of this shock, which is dimensioned for taller-mount or dual-position applications
• 5/8 in. diameter hardened, double-chrome piston rod resists corrosion, bending, and surface wear across years of use on classic trucks, SUVs, Jeeps, and compact 4WD platforms
• Leak-proof seal and orifice disk design prevents fluid bypass and supports extended service life across this shock's wide multi-platform fitment range
• Red polyurethane bushing at the lower Eyelet/Sleeve mount provides improved vibration isolation and far greater durability than original rubber bushings on vehicles of this age
• Upper Stem (stud) mount threads directly into the factory upper mounting location on all confirmed platforms - no adapter required
• Red protective boot included to shield the piston rod from trail debris, mud, and moisture
• Internal rebound bumper prevents metal-to-metal contact at full droop during aggressive off-road suspension travel
• Shock must mount body-down - mandatory installation orientation for correct function and longevity
• Limited Lifetime Warranty backed by Skyjacker's SkyArmor Plus supplemental warranty program

Product Description

The Skyjacker N8055 is a Nitro 8000 Series twin-tube, 150 PSI nitrogen gas-charged shock absorber with a Stem (top) / Eyelet-Sleeve (bottom) mount configuration and a 22.75 in. extended / 13.54 in. collapsed / 9.21 in. stroke specification. It covers a broad range of classic trucks, SUVs, and off-road platforms at stock to mildly lifted ride heights, most notably serving as the front shock for the 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ at 0-1 in. of lift, and as both the front and rear shock on the 1987-1991 Isuzu Trooper 4WD. Additional confirmed front-position fitment includes the Ford F-100 (1970-1979), F-150 (1975-1996), F-250 (1980-1996), Bronco (1970-1996), Bronco II (1984-1990), Explorer (1991-1994), and Ranger (1983-1997); Toyota Pickup (1980-1985) and 4Runner (1984-1985); Isuzu Amigo (1989-1994) and Rodeo (1991-2001); Honda Passport (1994-1995); Mazda Navajo (1991-1994) and B-Series trucks (1994-1997), all on 2WD and 4WD variants at stock height.

The N8055 is the longer companion to the N8052 (15.30 in. extended) within the same Stem/Eyelet-Sleeve mount family - it is dimensioned for the taller mounting configurations found on the Jeep YJ front suspension, the Isuzu Trooper rear axle, and similar platforms. The 150 PSI nitrogen charge suppresses fluid foaming and fade during sustained use while the velocity-sensitive valving adjusts continuously to terrain and road input. The oversized bonded iron piston and 5/8 in. double-chrome rod deliver durable, consistent performance over the life of the shock. The Stem upper mount installs directly to the factory location on all confirmed platforms with no modification required.

The Stem (stud) upper mount is a key fitment detail: it is not interchangeable with Eyelet/Eyelet or other mount styles. Always confirm your vehicle's factory upper mount type before ordering. For the Jeep Wrangler YJ specifically, N8055 covers 0-1 in. of front lift - for 2-2.5 in. lift, use N8056 instead. On the Isuzu Trooper, N8055 fills both front and rear positions in the same set, paired with N8052 for the secondary front position. Sold individually; order the correct quantity for your axle application. No 2025 fitment is confirmed for this part number; the newest listed application is the 1997 Mazda B-Series.
